Power Engineering fromIgor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute to China
This article is a small generalization after three-year trips to China by the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute specialists for combustion of fuel in fire engineering facilities of power engineering, metallurgy, and others. It should be noted that the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic InstituteScientific School in the field of combustion (initiated by Professors TEF V. Khristich and G. Lyubchik) is one of the best in Europe. On the basis of the research, a unique universal high-performance jet-niche combustion technology (JNCT), which is used in fire-technology objects: steam and water-heating boilers, ovens and driers of various purposes, combustion chambers, etc., has more than a thousand objects. The technology is protected by ten patents, including Eurasian. It is precisely because of this technology that the complete modernization of OJSC “Zaporizhstal” (open-hearth furnaces, mixers, drying stations of steel ladle bins, sinter plant), Odessa TPP, Pobuzhsky Ferronickel Plant, Crimean Titan, etc. has been completed. The SST also provides economic, ecological safety and reliability of the municipal power engineering of entire cities, in particular Zhytomyr, Lugansk, Alchevsk, Gorlovka, and others.

Chinese metallurgists are very interested in the practical results of the use of SST in industry, and especially – the environmental performance provided by this technology. This interest is due to the difficult environmental situation in the industrially developed provinces, which is due not only to the rapid development of industry, but also to the prevailing share in China’s energy balance of coal (about 70%). There was a great hope there with the so-called water-cooled fuel (about 40% water is added to the fine coal powder). However, experimental exploitation at several CHPPs showed the economic ineffectiveness of such a project, and it was curtailed after 2003. Interestingly, Ukraine still advocates this Chinese experience and does not abandon attempts to implement it in the energy sector.

An alternative to coal fuels in the PRC was found in the form of more environmentally friendly – gaseous. Since natural gas in China is not enough, there are ongoing work on producing combustible gas from various raw materials (coal, wood, biomass, etc.). Wherever we were, everywhere worked various installations for gas. This gas is heated by the premises, used for electricity generation, and others like that. To produce gas grow fast-growing plants. The huge areas occupied by such landings, we watched for tens of kilometers along the roads.

By the way, both water-coal technology and gasification of the Chinese “have seen” in the works of Soviet scientists, and, which is typical for them, having tested, chose the option best in terms of efficiency, environmental safety and reliability of work, that is the best for the country, and not for the enrichment of the group “Interested” State officials stand in the interests of the state, they say: do what you want, earn, be millionaires, but do not harm our state. When appointing an official even the lowest level, he tells in detail about the consequences of unlawful actions, and then allow them to talk with prisoners who violated the law. Such control and rigid measures by the state correspond to the state sentiments of the multimillion people and lead to spectacular results. The country outstripped everyone in terms of GDP. Chinese people can be found in any city in the world and in all universities. They intensively collect knowledge and skills and do not hesitate to neglect intellectual rights. The low level of corruption creates a favorable investment climate, and the scientific and technical staff and investors from all over the world go here.

It is very interesting to watch how the Chinese work. At one of the metallurgical plants we stayed for three days. The plant has been operating for many years, in size, as “Zaporizhstal”. So, these days the area of development of various technical and administrative buildings increased in the eyes (for many tens of meters in diameter). Moreover, the Chinese worked without a fuss, clearly adhering to the time of dinner and the end of work. The impression is that to work for them in joy. When we approached the workers, they certainly welcomed us, smiled and showed what they were doing.

Before the Chinese are facing big challenges, one of the most acute – is environmental. They are looking for a solution to this problem, inextricably linked with the optimization of energy balance. Power companies around the world are curious to see how the PRC solves a set of problems. After seeing in the Middle East, you understand that it is up to them, because for the Chinese people, statehood is above all.
